Its just another way for Mark Dickelburg to pretend he and his ugly arse mug are relevant.

It seems like a virtual sim city but with real money. That’s all I’ve gathered. I don’t plan to take part in it if I can avoid it.

Second Second Life, but in VR.

China is laughing their arse off at the prospect of westerners actually getting excited over this. If this actually catches on, it’s going to functionally castrate our population.
Social media is already facilitating a suicide epidemic. Meta is amplifying that bet a hundred fold. Stay away from this shite.

I listened to a podcast and the person said people within Facebook don't even fully understand Metaverse.

Boomers ruined FB. The younger crowd wants nothing to do with it unless they're in Real Estate or Essential Oils.
This is just rebranding to try to seem edgy.

So everything you don't understand is liberalism? When did capitalism (which I would consider it to be more than anything) become liberalism?

Sometimes I wonder what my WWII-vet grandfather would think about grown-arse men staring at a screen all day where they read messages from other grown-arse men, then type messages back to them.

Yes, from what I understand it is in its infancy. Parts of what is considered "metaverse" has been around for years, but I will withhold judgement until it is more defined, but people (and companies) are investing in it because, like I mentioned in my other post, its supposedly the evolution of the internet.

I mean... if you don't think NFTs are a scam, I have a jpg of a bridge I'd like to sell you.
I bet you would accept some bitcoin for that bridge.

Boomers / Gen X’ers (so the majority of this site) are going to lose their fricking minds when they hear about Decentraland

VR: game rooms and worlds to visits…. Think of tron …or games of today on steroids… everyone is an avatar and interacts socially on their game system …their is a commercial on tv making fun of this…. Augmented reality…people meet for business etc in common (zoom conference rooms) or you see things projected into your real situation via glasses…like the cartoon things people were chasing on their iPhone around town…think of Ralph wrecks the internet and your avatar is Ralph Currency and ownership : you will want stuff for your avatar… and can project an entire different person in there… you can be a stud in there and still be living in your moms basement… but you do not care cause that becomes your world …
And all of this comes about after a “pandemic” where all major economies, you know the ones with internet connection, shut things down and forced people to socially distance themselves and work from home and destroyed countless small businesses while large companies like Amazon made out like bandits.
Almost as if it was by design to prepare people and condition them to being alone and stuck in the computer world, depressed about the real world and craving interaction with others, before releasing this metaverse crap.
There is evil at play. Do not fall into the trap. Get rid of social media and go hiking or have a drink with friends at a bar. Enjoy a concert. Eat at a local restaurant, shop at a local store They only win if you let them. Be smarter and see what’s going on around you.

We need to get a firm definition of what constitutes Old Metaverse or we're just repeating old mistakes.
